Original Note:
False: this is not a "shock" nor does it represent any shift in US foreign policy. The United States has always maintained "strategic ambiguity" re: Taiwan, and has long opposed outright *de jure* Taiwanese independence. This statement is in line with that policy. https://thediplomat.com/2023/09/why-does-the-united-states-oppose-taiwanese-independence/ https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Paper-7v3.pdf https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/why-strategic-ambiguity-trumps-strategic-clarity-taiwan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy_of_deliberate_ambiguity#Taiwan
